I want to backup my SD cards (used in my mirrorless camera) directly to dropbox. I have managed to get dropbox to recognize one of them as an external drive and back it up, but it will not recognize the other one no matter what I do. I have tried using the internal SD card reader and an external reader. So far only the…
I recently bought a new M4 MacBook running Tahoe 26.5.1. I've been having a lot of syncing problems with Dropbox. I had an existing 70 GB of data on my previous computer, and the first thing I did was try to sync on the M4. It took about two days for the sync to finish and for the green circles to appear next to all files…
Dropbox has stopped syncing on my Fedora 44 linux installation.

Dropbox is already running! eric@fedora:~$ dropbox update…
I have a folder that won't disappear no matter how many times I delete it. It pops back in for me, and for other users.

I'm on a MacBook Pro with Tahoe 26.5.2. I have no VPNs running, Private Relay is switched off, and I've disabled the firewall but…

I've recently had a lot of trouble with PDFs that are visible in iPhone app and on the website but are not viewable in Windows 11 File Explorer (just get Microsoft Edge home page or a file-not-found error). I've done an inordinate amount of research and troubleshooting. While there is no apparent syncing, security setting,…
I have two iPhones (12 & 16) and two MacBooks (M2 and M4). I was using Dropbox on everything but the iPhone 16. I was using Google apps or logins on all 4 devices. I was logged in through a VPN on one of the MacBooks. A short time ago I noticed that all my Google tabs in a particular browser were logged out. Then I noticed…
